Bloody battlefields. What better place to get away with murder? In the trenches of Flanders Field, men are dying in their thousands every day. The dead have become mere statistics, an inevitable part of war, so what's one more death among many? Then a body turns up with inexplicable injuries and the suspicions of Dr John Watson - serving his country with his medical expertise - are raised. Something is terribly wrong. But this is just the beginning. Soon more bodies appear, and Watson - a most reluctant detective - must uncover the killer in the trenches. The enemy lurks behind the lines, but the danger is even closer than Watson imagines. Watson's experience of working with the legendary Sherlock Holmes - from whom he is now estranged - means he understands his methods of deduction. But can he reveal the truth without the help of his illustrious colleague? Surrounded by unimaginable carnage, amidst a conflict that's ripping the world apart, Watson must for once step out of the shadows and into the limelight if he's to solve the mystery behind the inexplicable deaths.
